About The Show
Wicked, currently the 18th longest-running Broadway show, is a musical with songs and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman. The story is loosely based on the best-selling novel “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” by Gregory Maguire. Stephen Schwartz discovered the 1995 Maguire novel while on holiday, and in 1998 he met Maguire who agreed to release the rights for a stage production. Schwartz collaborated with Emmy Award-winning writer Winnie Holzman to develop the outline of the plot, which – whilst it followed Maguire’s idea of retelling the story of the 1939 film The Wizard Of Oz from the perspective of its main villain – does deviate extensively from the novel.

Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West, and her relationship with Galinda, later Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Their friendship struggles through their opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over romance, their reactions to the corruption of the Wizard’s government, and Elphaba’s eventual public fall from grace. The plot is set before and during Dorothy’s arrival from Kansas.
